Which of the following statements about non-qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans is false?

  1. An employer does not have to offer the plan to all employees over 21 years old.
  2. The earnings on the plan's contributions remain untaxed until they are withdrawn.
  3. The plan does not have to abide by ERISA's vesting requirements.
  4. The plan may be either funded or unfunded.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The false statement is that the earnings on the plan's contributions remain untaxed until they are withdrawn. Earnings on non-qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans do not grow tax-deferred except for a special situation in which a sizeable forfeiture risk exists. All the other statements are true since non-qualified employer-sponsored plans are exempt from most, if not all, of ERISA's requirements.

  3. Thursday, October 14th.
  4. Friday, October 15th.

Ken has a variable life policy and recently learned that he can borrow against its cash value to help pay for some of the expenses he's incurring while pursuing a graduate degree.
Which of the following statements about the loan he can get is true?

  1. Ken can borrow at most only 50% of the cash value, and only as long as he's had the policy for at least three years.
  2. Since Ken is essentially borrowing his own money; the loan is interest-free.
  3. Ken never has to repay the loan, but if he chooses not to do so, his wife, Barbie, won't get as much when he dies.
  4. Ken has been misinformed. He cannot borrow against the cash value of a variable life policy because the cash values of these policies fluctuate constantly.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The true statement is that Ken never has to repay the loan, but if he chooses not to do so, his wife, Barbie, won't get as much when he dies. He can borrow up to at least 75% of the cash value, but there is interest charged on the loan. (In essence, he's paying interest to himself, though.)
